International hip hop stars, acclaimed satirists and homegrown talent - they’re all coming together next month to put the east end of Glasgow on the map.

Restless Natives Festival will run May 9-15, with its roots in the DIY Glasgow arts scene bringing people together and generating income for the community.

Festival co-ordinator Halina Rifai said: “Restless Natives is looking to unite many different groups, creative industries, ages and socio-political perspectives under one broadly inclusive and progressive umbrella, proving to everyone who thinks otherwise that independent business and art can still thrive and that Scotland, with its celebrated reputation in these fields, is the perfect place to lead the way.”

Events are individually priced as affordably as possible, in the hope that people from all backgrounds will head along. Organisers have also promised a portion of the cash to east end charities.

As for what’s on offer, there’s music, film, food and art in the mix - and that includes Wu Tang Clan’s Ghostface Killah at Saint Luke's on May 13.

He’s joined by Edinburgh songstress Law Holt, Cardiff alt rockers Future of the Left, Rolo Tomasi, Tim Hecker, Blanck Mass, Into It. Over It, The Hotelier and Glasgow’s own up and comers, Tuff Love, United Fruit, Happy Meals, Spinning Coin and Lightwave.

On the film front, there’s a screening of Instrument and Skype Q&A with Fugazi’s Ian MacKaye, Couple In A Hole, The Room, Song, The Ambiguity of David Thomas Broughton and a national exclusive with Blood, Sweat & Vinyl: DIY in the 21st Century.

The line-up has been updated today to include director, writer and producer Armando Iannucci in a pre-recorded Q&A shown alongside a screening of his The Thick of It film spin-off, In The Loop. The film will be shown on Saturday, May 14 at Drygate.

Halina added: “Armando is not only one of the country’s top TV comedy producers, but his credits also span critically acclaimed features for radio and film.

“Given he is one of the most influential and prominent writers to emerge from Scotland, it’s not only an honour for Restless Natives to be screening In The Loop, but also to have the ingenious satirist put his name to the festival.”
